After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

The sky was becoming increasingly gloomy, and it was gradually getting dark. Yuxiu, who had originally wanted to go into the city as soon as possible to find a place to stay, did not want Cui to take the risk anymore. After thinking about it, she sent her into the space again. As for herself, she drove the carriage quickly to the city gate, handed the other party a string of copper coins, and was successfully released.

When Yuxiu entered the city, she was accompanied by a dozen refugees. After they entered, they found that there were already many soldiers guarding the city. Everyone who came in was pointed at with swords and forced to walk along the city wall to a road next to it.

They were under someone's roof and the other side were neatly dressed officers and soldiers. The refugees dared not say anything and could only follow their orders, not daring to say a word.

"Come down, we will take care of the carriage."

A soldier who looked quite tall came over and spoke in a very calm voice, it seemed that he was just giving a notification.

After saying that, without caring about Yuxiu's expression, he reached out and wanted to take Hongyun's reins.

"This is my carriage, why should I give it to you?"

Yuxiu moved her arm slightly, and the man's hand let go of the reins. After hearing what Yuxiu said, everyone stopped and looked towards her.

"Third brother, hurry up and take care of it. We'll go and settle down first. It's going to rain soon. Don't delay here any longer."

Someone in front shouted impatiently, and the others continued to walk forward. The person in front of Yuxiu responded humbly, and his expression when he looked at Yuxiu was not very good.

"Haha...if you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine for punishment. It seems like you don't know whose territory you are in, you little bitch!"

Seeing that everyone had rushed to the front, the man called Lao San looked at Yuxiu with shame and anger, stretched out his hand and pulled out the long sword at his waist, and shouted at her:

"Get off here, little girl!"

Yuxiu had a cold face the whole time, just looking at the person in front of her quietly. Seeing him coming towards her with a sword, Yuxiu felt very annoyed. She stood up and kicked the man called Lao San into a ditch under the city wall.

But at this time, there was no water in the ditch, only some gravel and other things in it.

When the third brother was kicked by Yuxiu, he immediately felt as if his head was hit by a huge rock and he lost consciousness instantly.

No one knew whether the man was dead or not. It was completely dark at this time, and Yuxiu was too lazy to go down to check. Seeing that the man's sword was still there, she picked it up after thinking about it, and stabbed the man in the ditch with it.

After hearing a muffled groan coming from the people in the ditch, there was no other movement. Yuxiu did not hesitate. While there was no one around, she quickly put the carriage into the space, and then quickly chased towards the place where those people had just left.

They chased for a long distance before finally seeing those people being driven into a low courtyard. When Yuxiu avoided the heavy guards outside and entered the courtyard, she saw an extremely shocking scene.

The refugees who had just walked into the city in front of him were now lying in the yard with their arms and legs spread out. Two men dressed as Taoists were busy inside. One of them was holding a sharp knife and cutting their wrists, while the other was holding a clay pot to catch the blood that was flowing out.

At this time, voices were heard from the room next door. Yuxiu quickly hid behind a pillar and listened carefully. It turned out that the voices were those of the officers and soldiers who had brought them into the city before.

"Today's mission was completed exceptionally well. The master should be very satisfied. Who knows, he might give us some kind of reward."

"Maybe it's because it's going to rain, so there are so many people who want to go into the city."

"If there were so many fat sheep coming to our doorstep every day, we wouldn't have to go out and look for them."

A group of people were talking and laughing. Yuxiu frowned. Fat sheep?

They are all skinny refugees, with not a pound of meat on their bodies, let alone a few copper coins. They are far from being fat sheep.

When Yuxiu thought of the blood that had just been poured into the earthen jar, she couldn't help but shudder all over.

Could it be that they were so happy to let the refugees into the city just to drain their blood?

So what do they want to do by taking so much blood?

Thinking of those refugees who had been drained of blood, Yuxiu felt curious but also felt aggrieved for them.

I don't know how much hardship I endured along the way. I finally escaped from the famine and arrived here. It was about to rain, and maybe I would have survived this disaster, but I was inexplicably killed by someone.

Following the sound of footsteps, two Taoists came out holding earthen jars and lanterns in their hands.

"That's about it, let's deal with what's inside."

These words were spoken to the officers and soldiers in the room, and soon there was a response from inside.

"Masters, rest assured, leave everything to us and we will make sure nothing goes wrong."

The person who responded had a tone that was obviously flattering and humility. It seemed that these people were very afraid of the two Taoists.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a huge thunder and lightning struck, illuminating the entire yard and revealing Yuxiu who was standing behind the pillar.

"There's someone over there! Catch her quickly!"

The man holding the clay pot was startled, pointed at the pillar and shouted, instantly alarming the other people in the house. The people outside the yard also rushed in quickly. Everyone looked around the yard, then came to the Taoist priest and asked in confusion:

"Master Lin, where are the people?"

The man called Lin Daochang was also confused. He pointed at the pillar where Yuxiu had just stood and said hesitantly:

"Is there no one there? I..."

He just saw it very clearly: a pretty girl, wearing clean clothes, was looking at him with a smile.

Thinking of this, his face turned pale and his lips trembled slightly.

I have been here for more than two months, and every day I come into contact with these dirty and smelly refugees. Even if I occasionally see a few women, they are covered with scars. How could there be such a clean and fresh girl here?

So just now...was he really dazzled?

Or... is this place haunted?

"There is really no one here. I have checked the entire yard. It seems that Master Lin was indeed mistaken just now."

Several officers and soldiers holding lanterns walked around the pillar several times, but still found nothing.

"Junior brother, you might have been shaken by the lightning when it thundered just now. It's okay now. Let's go back quickly."

Another Taoist priest holding a lantern spoke up to smooth things over, and then urged Taoist Priest Lin to leave quickly. The two of them did not say anything else to the officers and soldiers, and quickly turned around the roof and walked towards a path at the back.
